Any artist who has that quality of timelessness has that quality because they tell the truth.

I'd like to decide who comes here. I'd like to be the admissions director of New York.

I'm such a slow writer I have no need for anything as fast as a word processor. I don't need anything so snappy. I write so slowly that I could write in my own blood without hurting myself.

All style is personal - that's what distinguishes it from fashion.

I have a hard time writing. Most writers have a hard time writing. I have a harder time than most because I'm lazier than most. I don't want to brag, but I'm the laziest person I have ever known.
